STOCKTON - Police arrested a man who robbed a boy late Wednesday night near the Brookside Golf and Country Club, authorities said.

The boy was walking with a friend near March Lane and Brookside Road about 11:50 p.m. when he encountered two men sitting on a bench, officers said. One of the men pointed a gun at the victim and took a portable electronic device before both men fled on bicycles, police said.

About an hour later, officers located one of the men riding a bicycle on North Pershing Avenue. The man refused to stop and discarded a handgun while fleeing from officers but was soon taken into custody, authorities said.

Zachary Motz, 18, was arrested on suspicion of robbery, possession of stolen property, resisting arrest and carrying a concealed firearm, authorities said. His accomplice was described by officers as a Latino man about 19 years old standing 5 feet 7 inches tall with light blue jeans and a black hooded sweatshirt.
